Ways to Experience Italy

Different ways to experience Italy, all grounded in the same deep understanding of the country.

Maybe you're planning your own trip and want expert guidance.
Maybe you want to learn how to plan Italy with more confidence.
Or maybe you're ready to experience Italy together on a small-group journey.

However you choose to begin, you'll be guided by the same understanding of Italy that sits at the heart of everything I do.

WORK WITH me

Expert guidance for making sense of Italy and creating a trip that's right for you.

Planning an Italy trip should be exciting — but with endless destinations, hotels, restaurants, and experiences to choose from, it can quickly become overwhelming.

I’m here to help you make confident decisions based on how Italy actually works — its regions, rhythms, food, seasons, and the experiences that make a place worth your time.

Choose the level of support that works for you: work with me one-on-one to create a thoughtful itinerary and get personalized recommendations, or learn my approach in the 3-Day Italy Planning Workshop and plan your trip yourself, with expert guidance along the way. For travelers who want to plan their own Italy trip, but don't want to figure it all out alone.

Join the Workshop

Experience Italy through the places, people, food, and traditions that make it what it is.

If you'd rather step away from the planning and immerse yourself in Italy, join me on one of my intimate small-group journeys.

These aren't simply trips built around a list of sights. They're thoughtfully curated around connection, discovery, and the details that give a place its character — from cooking with locals and wandering through vineyards to exploring villages and sharing a long meal around the table.

Traveling in a small group gives you the ease of having the details thoughtfully handled, while leaving room to slow down, connect with fellow travelers, and experience Italy at a more natural pace.
